Abstract :
This work covers how the systems engineering approach to problem solving was applied to the FIT (fault isolation and test) subsystem as it was developed and tested. FIT´s underlying requirements and goals are reviewed. Several characteristics of the problem that FIT was built to solve required a highly integrated product between the three main components of the operative system: the user, the software, and the hardware. A general methodology for building FIT is proposed, using the systems engineering approach to problem solving as the framework
